Safer U Survival Guide

Women and men deserve equal treatment under the law and equal opportunities to succeed in life.

And yet that doesn’t mean we are all the same. People come in different shapes and sizes. They possess different abilities and overcome different challenges.

Some differences are big. Other differences are less obvious, such as those genetically encoded in our every single cell. And an individual’s relative masculinity and femininity exist along a continuum, shaped by that person’s self-representation, environment, and experience.

What we’re learning is: Difference just means difference. Two roads can lead to the same destination. Or even to two different, but equally nice destinations.

However, we are just beginning to understand how the differences that generally exist between women and men affect our biology and behavior.

How will my information be used?

When you express interest in a specific study, the information from your profile will be sent to the doctor conducting that study. If you're eligible to participate, you may be contacted by a nurse or study coordinator.

If you select a health category rather than a specific study, doctors who have active studies in that area may contact you to ask if you would like to participate.

In both cases, you will be contacted by the preferred method (email or phone) that you specified in your profile.
